Boat Handles for Ouachita canoe, 17 ft.

September 21st, 2005, 01:32 PM

We are proud new owners of a "seasoned" 196? Ouachita Aluminum Canoe we purchased from our good friends and neighbors in Victoria, TX. With the Hurricane Rita on the way, they are having second thoughts on selling it to us . Anyway, one of the two solid "cast" aluminum handles is missing and the other should be replaced as well.Does anyone know where a good source would be for the two apparently "unique" handles? They are 7 1/2 inches long, 6 3/4" between two mounting holes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Larry Chandler, Magnolia, TX.
